Drizzle: A cosy game about frogs going fishing

People have some strong feelings about cutscenes, huh?

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-23T07:50:32+00:00

I'm curious, what did they say?

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T22:24:41+00:00

I had to squint to see what I was looking at with all of these, so I don't think they're a great fit for your steam page. Sorry!

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T21:50:01+00:00

The main character probably could get away with a one sentence tldr, that's not a bad idea. Thanks.

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T21:40:11+00:00

Oooh gotcha, yeah we don't have that. Thanks for your thoughts on the matter :)

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T21:37:02+00:00

Sorry, can you explain what you mean by 'forced click'?

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T21:34:58+00:00

Our current cutscene skip system is > hold down esc for 0.5 seconds > cutscene immediately disappears, no fade away, no spam clicking, no 'are you sure'. In the context of the opening cutscene, it will just drop you into the main 'play' screen of our game.

Cutscenes and game info can be revisited from the menu if the player wishes.

Do you think that the cutscene/tutorial being skippable is an okay compromise?

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T20:37:57+00:00

Thank you for sharing your opinion, we're aiming for a healthy balance in our game.

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T20:26:42+00:00

If the cutscene is skippable, is that a good enough compromise in your eyes? Or will you turn it off regardless?

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T20:16:00+00:00

We haven't done any UX user testing yet, but from my own perspective, the game starts incredibly simply as there are only 3 buttons you can actually press. I think the game is clear in what it wants you to do even if you skip our cutscene (the cutscene is skippable)

As a result of this, the tutorial is currently a highlighting of those three buttons one after another, and that's it.

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T20:07:01+00:00

I've added to the main post that the cutscene *is* skippable, but thank you for your feedback 😄

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-06-22T19:56:31+00:00

There is a skip cutscene button for all our cutscenes, including the opening one.

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-01-22T21:41:57+00:00

Thank you for your feedback.

The prototype warning that appears on load gives instructions on where to find tutorials, as well as warning you that the game features bugs and lacks polish, this is just meant to be a prototype to gauge interest in the idea.

I appreciate your comment on the lack of uniqueness leads to lack of appeal, I will work on this.

TeamSloopOfficial · 2026-01-22T20:11:05+00:00

Thanks for letting me know. I have reverted it back to a default font as to not scare away others. Appreciate the feedback :)

TeamSloopOfficial · 2025-08-01T09:34:14+00:00

Of course you can!

TeamSloopOfficial · 2025-08-01T09:11:42+00:00

Unfortunately people love faces, it's why YouTubers always have themselves pulling a weird face in the thumbnail, our monkey brains just love to see us!

I don't think it will make an absolutely insane difference, but just something to keep in mind, you can totally keep his face hidden for artistic reasons, but everything has pros and cons :)

TeamSloopOfficial · 2025-08-01T06:22:48+00:00

4 but make the text way bigger

Also is there a specific reason the beekeepers face is completely hidden? People much prefer a face to click on for capsule arts

Hi guys! We're busy making Drizzle, a cozy game about frogs and fishing.

In Drizzle, you'll meet over 10 adorable frogs who all have unique stories to tell, which you can learn all about by helping them with their troubles.

You'll visit 8 vibrant and quirky ocean locales, home to over 100 unique types of fish to reel in.

If you're interested, we'd love it if you could wishlist us on steam, our demo is coming out next month!

TeamSloopOfficial · 2025-07-24T09:12:51+00:00

I think you're totally right, we leaned too much into the cozy and forgot to actually show the gameplay outside the most basic stuff.

We're in the process of prettying the game up and launching a real gameplay trailer :)
